Rangers attacker Alfredo Morelos should be boosted after the international break.
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has claimed that Alfredo Morelos has returned from international duty in great shape.
The 22-year-old was called up to Colombia’s senior team and made his debut off the bench in a 2-1 friendly win over Venezuela.
He has now returned to the Gers and will have his eyes set on the league clash at home to Dundee on Saturday at Ibrox.
Gerrard revealed his delight for Morelos after his international experience, while Colombian teammate and Monaco striker Radamel Falcao has tipped him to be a big success for his nation.
“I’m delighted for Morelos to be involved, he has come back in great shape and it was great to hear Falcao speak so highly of him,” Gerrard said in his pre-match press conference, as quoted by the club’s official Twitter account.
Morelos will surely be on cloud nine after his time with South American outfit Colombia and that could even have an impact on his club form.
The centre-forward has scored six goals in 13 goals across all competitions so far this season and will get his crack at the Europa League group stages next week.
He managed 18 goals for the Light Blues last season and will be keen to show progression to his game.
Morelos is a 5ft 8in striker that can still be more clinical in front of goal, but has to be confident after the last two weeks in the international break and Rangers could be the ones to profit.
